One of the qualifications for being exempt is that you make a minimum of $455/wk which equals $23,660 annually. Now, if they are talking about just paying you a flat salary, that is a different issue and overtime would still be requred if you worked more than 40hrs in a week. I definitely think you need to sit down with them and get the details.

I agree with Olivia – this smells like an attempt to squeeze more hours out for the same amount of money.

The only other reason I could see for doing this would be some ease of administration.
